"Researchers Propose Scheme to Secure Brain Implants"

A method has been proposed by researchers from KU Leuven, Belgium, that would strengthen the security of implantable neurostimulators. According to researchers, the communications between the neurostimulator and its external device programmer lacks encryption and the authentication necessary to keep attackers from performing different software radio-based attacks. This article continues to discuss the vulnerability of brain implants, challenges surrounding the implementation of security mechanisms into implantable medical devices, and a solution proposed by researchers.
